What to do. Facing 12 months suspension.

[Remix-]

Has anyone here ever lost their license for a long time? eg 12 months. Im currently fighting a dispute in court and have a feeling im going to loose, which will result in 12 months suspension. My biggest worry is, what will i do with my car? Is it worth keeping a car for 12 months and bomb it? Or selling it and buying something else when i get my license back.

Im worried about how the car will keep after being in the driveway and unused for so long?

Any experience in this situation or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I love my car Would be so heartbreaking to have to sell it.

It costs a bit to buy and sell a car so I would suggest that you try to get someone to drive you somewhere in it once a week for a year.

wat kinda car is it?

[raist60]

You can just leave it in your garage. I did that for 12 months. Mine was ok, id start it and take it around the block once a month or so.

Dont sell it! :| Just be careful not to get tempted to drive it tho...

I lost mine for 15-18 months, still waiting for the RTA to process all the fines and come up with a period cause i have lost count. I am keeping mine for sure and still have another year to go. Its not worth selling and buying one later on, you may get another skyline and just buy someone else's problem. If your car runs good and you are happy with it i would keep it. Save some cash in the year and build it up to a 300kw monster!

Yea and if you hold onto it your car wont count up any more km's on the clock

Dude I wouldnt worry so much, trust me, things change, when I lost my licence, everyone with Skyline's were champions, top people, and I lost my licence for 9 mths, as soon as I got back into it, the sheer atmoshpere had changed, and there were Skylines everywhere, and everyone who seemed to have bought em were wankers, and I'll be honest, some people who did buy em are even in these forums!!!!

gtst89 dude diddnt u just get ur car less then a month ago? damn man u must have been busy.

[Remix-]

Yeah i did. hahaha, but im facing repercussions from previous driving early in the year (not with the line).

[LastTemptation]

yer i had my line for 5 months and i lost my p's for a year.. its been 2 months so far.. its sitting in my driveway, ohh god she looks so pretty i could just drive her... but i like reading my book on the train..

haha, man that's inspriation. Yeah us no-license people just have to deal with it. We bought it on ourselves (with the help of dog police). But **** it, im not selling my car. I start her up every 2nd day for a few mins, and get my gf to drive it on the w/end (with me in it of course haha) to stretch her legs.

Kinda makes me feel a bit better to know im not the only one.

Might be worth while buying a radar detector for round two in another 12 months. :headspin:

[Remix-]

I think we should start a "no-license club" hahahaha, could all trade ideas of 'other things to do without a license'. Example, "hey man, there's this wikked new porno out on dv....*cough*"...

Im so bored. Friday night and i could be driving and socializing. And to make me feel even worse...

ITS RAINING.

[LastTemptation]

gtst89 in the last 2 months i have started gym fulltime and dude the way things are going im gona be ripped this summer.. and wen winter kicks back in ill get my licence.... i hate not driving and i have started making turbo noises as i walk (lol) ohh well i hope the cops stop this blitz that is in victoria... i would hate to loose my licence straight away after i get it back.. just to see wat my car can do... u know

[LastTemptation]

haha the next time i get attempted to be pulled over im gona do a major run from the cops.. like wat u see in america.. hahah so then u will all hear about it that seems like a good idea.. wen u hear the sirens.. make a run for it, hahah thats classic. like nicolas cage, didnt he get let off for driving the gt500 like a maniac in gone in 60 seconds? ay

[Zagan]

You'd only need to kick the engine over once a week, for 10 15mins to get the oil and stuff moving around the engine, don't need to drive it around.

Oh, and I'd keep it as you have said.
